The images at issue are all comics in the manga style. No photographic evidence of criminal behavior is at issue. Nevertheless, a warrant was issued and the laptop was turned over to police. Consequently, the American has been charged with both the possession of child pornography as well as its importation into Canada. As a result, if convicted at trial, the American faces a minimum of one year in prison. This case could have far reaching implications for comic books and manga in North America.

The CBLDF’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to aid the case by raising funds to contribute to the defense and to help the defense with strategy and expert resources.

Brownstein says, “This is an important case that impacts the rights of everyone who reads, publishes, and makes comics and manga in North America. It underscores the dangers facing everyone traveling with comics, and it can establish important precedents regarding travelers rights. It also relates to the increasingly urgent issue of authorities prosecuting art as child pornography. While this case won’t set a US precedent, it can inform whatever precedent is eventually set. This case is also important with respect to artistic merit in the Canadian courts, and a good decision could bring Canadian law closer to US law in that respect. With the help of our supporters, we hope to raise the funds to wage a fight that yields good decisions and to create tools to help prevent these sorts of cases from continuing to spread.”

as Murray explains in the video below, they’re based on Formula One materials as he imagines them 15-20 years from now. He also envisions a greener Dark Knight, whose ride runs on hydrogen fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries — no longer will the caped crusader suffer a guilty conscience due to his excessive carbon dioxide emissions.

Unlike anything from the Spider-Man play “turn off the dark”, this batman play is looking to be making all the right moves. that car is pretty poppin, take a look at the cockpit doors opening up below.

I’ve been seeing this around the internet, and it behoves me to post it here, but really, it’s a let down. it’s what you would expect from a french version of batman fighting a french version of wolverine (wtf?). lots of black and white and a story line that barely make sense, even for the french.

Here’s the comic that he modeled it after, and it’s a pretty good duplications…but why would you do this to your back? 20 years down the road when it’s bleeding over, it’s not going to look all that hot. WHY.

Body Suit was made from Pleather, which was a pain in the ass but totally worth it. Handmade all the piping. The gloves and boots were hand sewn out of the same fabric to match, with zippers and buckles for accuracy. The cape is stretch fleece lined with red satin and I made the gold armor our of resin.
